Squatty Potty Slim with Teak Finish

It may feel unnatural to many of us, but the Eastern way of squatting whilst using the toilet is the way which helps prevent constipation, haemorrhoids, IBS and bowel disease.

This is the method that puts our colon into the correct position but unfortunately, due to old habits, it’s just too difficult for many of us to adapt to. This is where the Squatty Potty Slim with Teak Finish comes into play – a stylish product which will help get your body into the squatting position without it feeling out of the ordinary.

Squatty Potty Slim with Teak Finish cons

1. The Squatty Potty Slim with Teak Finish is much easier to use than squatting over an Eastern toilet, but it still takes some time to get used to.
2. Even though there’s no doubting the sophistication of the Squatty Potty Slim with Teak Finish, it still might not suit the theme of some bathrooms.

How does the Squatty Potty Slim with Teak Finish work?

It might not seem believable when you set eyes on a Western toilet, but science dictates that man was made to squat. The colon is generally bent – and this is something that helps keep our waste stored. When we sit down on a traditional Western toilet, this bend is retained and it therefore makes it very difficult to eliminate waste without straining.

This is why a lot of places in the world, particularly in Eastern regions, still rely on squatting. The process of squatting over the toilet “unbends” the colon and allows waste to be eliminated much more easily. Subsequently, there’s no straining on your part and as we all know, this has the knock-on effect of minimizing the risk of constipation, haemorrhoids, IBS and bowel disease.

Bearing the above in mind, the Squatty Potty Slim with Teak Finish works by raising your legs slightly as you sit on the toilet. For those of us who have used Western toilets for a lifetime, the thought of performing a full squat probably seems inconceivable.

Therefore, the Squatty Potty Slim with Teak Finish works by elevating your feet and legs which effectively mimics the squatting position – without all of the hard work. In other words, you are getting your body into the correct position, without it feeling uncomfortable in the slightest.

Will the Squatty Potty Slim with Teak Finish work for you?

If you are susceptible to any of the health problems we have mentioned, there’s no doubt that this is a product that could be extremely effective for you. In fact, even if you don’t suffer from any problems right now, the fact that it can reduce your straining means that it can safeguard against future problems which are becoming all-too common.

Of course, the Squatty Potty Slim with Teak Finish is suitable for everyone who just knows that they cannot utilize an Eastern-style toilet. Squatting is difficult, especially if you haven’t been doing it for decades, so the fact that you can simply elevate your legs with this product makes it all the more easier.

When you consider the aesthetics of the Squatty Potty Slim with Teak Finish, and the way it will sophistically fit into any bathroom, it just seems like a win-win.
